• Collaborate closely with Financial Controlling, Internal Controls, and other stakeholders to align ESG data with group reporting standards
• Perform quality reviews, variance analysis, and plausibility checks, including year-over-year and cross-site comparisons
• Support the preparation and governance of external sustainability disclosures, ensuring audit-ready documentation and traceability
• Design, implement, and continuously improve ESG-related internal control systems (ICS)
• Drive enhancements in ESG reporting systems, data models, and processes with a focus on automation and scalability
• Ensure compliance with internal governance policies and external audit requirements
• Act as a subject-matter expert, guiding ESG data owners on methodologies, KPIs, and reporting standards
• Serve as a key contact for internal and external auditors on ESG controlling topics

What You Will Need

• Bachelor’s degree in business administration, Finance, Controlling, or a related field (sustainability specialization is a plus)
• 3-5 years of experience in Controlling, Finance, Reporting, Audit, or ESG-related roles
• Strong understanding of controlling, reporting, and internal control frameworks applied to ESG data
• Knowledge of EU CSRD, ESRS, and EU Taxonomy, with the ability to translate requirements into controlling processes
• Experience with KPI frameworks, data analysis, and reporting governance
• Strong analytical skills with high attention to detail, accuracy, and audit readiness
• Proficiency in digital reporting tools, data systems, and process automation
• Independent, structured, and proactive working style
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Fluent in English and comfortable working in a global environment
• Experience in SAP FI/CO and MS Office; SAP S/4HANA is an advantage
